Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of
the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
Let x be the amount of time in hours
Let y be the heoght of a candle in centimeters
The two points are then as (9,24.5) and (23,17.5).














Now plug in x=21, we get

Thus the height of the candle after 21 hours is 18.5 centimeters.
The circumference of the top of the cake is
in.
It sounds like the baker is trying to line the circumference with cherriesto fit as many as possible along the border, like in the picture I've attached below.
This comes down to dividing the cake's circumference by the diameter of each cherry:

or about 39 cherries, making the answer D.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Join A and C and B and D. And add numbers to the angles formed on one of the diagonal
In triangles ABC and ADC,
Angle 1 = Angle 4
Angle 3 = Angle 2
AC = AC
Therefore, triangle ABC=ADC
Since, ABC=ADC
Similarly, triangle ABD= triangle CDB
Therefore, AB=CD and BC=DA
